The workmanship in my system was flawless,and what he ^ said.Need any help, PM me.NJ.Now for an actual answer to your question.
The HMF's ARE a bit of a b!tch to install. Fortunately there are some really good walkthroughs floating around out there complete with pics. They don't have a lot of clearance so take your time and get them lined up nice and tight with the bottom of the bike. Make sure you leave things loose until you get all the pieces in place and have test fitted the fairings.
Also, with the tight clearance you will run into heat issues where the pipes come close to the fairings. They don't send you anywhere close to enough heat tape to cover all the close spots on the fairings. There are 2 solutions for this.
1. Wrap the headers with exhaust wrap all the way to the x pipe.
2. Get some heat tape from a hardware store and put it on the fairings.
I went with #2, I think NitrousJunkie went with #1. Either one works, just make sure you take your time and check for hot spots.
If you run into questions during the install just drop me a PM.
What they both said. This system takes a bit of tweeking but the results are unmatched. The highest Hp increase (with a PCIIIUSB) and the best looks and sound. IMHO. I have about 4000 miles on mine so far and they are sounding better all the time. Just keep getting a deeper tone and a little louder.The workmanship in my system was flawless,and what he ^ said.Need any help, PM me.NJ.Now for an actual answer to your question.

Can you prove that the HMF outflows the BDE set-up on a Dyno?
Sorry....I just figured if he is going to spend that kind of money on a system, it shouldn't require any kind of tweeking!Josh, that didnt answer HIS question...Just cause yu live 3 doors down from brock himself...
J/K you get much riding in this season. Ive pretty much raped 675

Say again?
They aren't even in the TOP three for peformance so where are you getting your info?
TiForce, Akro, BigBird and BDE all put out more power....this has been proven many....many time not only on the dyno but at the track where it really counts.
Read a little closer. I said IMHO. All of the systems mentioned are top of the line. And all publish a their own propaganda. And whether it is correct or not, I have, on any given day read in several places that the the HMF system has on of the highest increases with a proper map. Again, just MHO. I prefer the Dual high mount system. To each his own. If you like the system you have and believe it has the best specs then I'm happy for you. I'm not gonna slam ya. I really doubt any one can prove any system, on any day, on any bike, can out perform another. Heck, no two bike come from the factory with the same Hp. I have read about as much as a 10 Hp difference up or down from one Busa to the next. I can't prove it, just repeating it. So buy whatever you want. Go with looks, style, price, weight, performance, sound or any other reason. Remember, you gotta live with what you buy. I just gonna say it's nice and be glad your happy with it. So other than that I'm out of advice.Say again?

Note to self: Stay out of other people's sh!t.

I saw the same post,there was HMF,Akrapovic,and I think Yosh was also represented.I may be wrong but te Akrapovic flows better than the other system you're referring to,the HMF's bested the akrapovic evo by I think 3 HP,not much, but it was better.No one's talking smack here,just stating what we read and have experienced.NJ.
Good mods. Remember to take pics in process to share as how to's for all the ret of us. BTW the fan is an easy install...you'll be glad you did it.Thanks for all of the replies. I'm going to order my HMF's on Monday. Already have the block off plates on the way. Going to put on a Muzzy aluminum fan while I'm at it. Then there's the xenon king HID system I did today and the Galfer stainless steel brake, clutch, EBC HH pads on order...Someone please take away the credit card !!!!!!!!
No one thinks your full of it, we are all just passing the info we have learned along to others. If your tests show that the HMF is the best and makes you happy, great!Some people just don't get it. I got spanked for saying the same thing. I have HMF's and i'm very happy with them. And I noticed a helluva improvment in performance once I got a good map. IMHO they are the best system available for many reasons. So to those that agree, thanks. And to those who think I'm full of sh!t, bite me.
